    (54) Powered pallet repair tool


    (57) A powered pallet repair tool (10) for severing a fastener which fastens a deck board (51) to a stringer (53) of a pallet has a pair of cutting blades (11, 12) which are offset laterally relative to the axis of linearly reciprocating drive members (15. 16) which support the blades spaced apart sufficiently to straddle the stringer to facilitate locating the blades at the cutting line where the boards are fastened together. The cutting blades are driven into engagement during a cutting operation. The blades each have a bevelled surface (11a, 12a) leading away from the cutting edge to facilitate prying the deck board away from the stringer during a cutting cycle.
